Lidia, who was raised in a loving and secure environment and learned the skill of Italian cooking from her cherished grandmother, was born in Pula on the Istrian peninsula. Lidia's family left Istria after a communist government conquered it, and they spent two years in a camp there as they awaited entry permits to the United States. Lidia immediately started working in restaurants once she eventually made it to New York, which was the first step on the road to her being one of the most renowned chefs and businesswomen in the nation. The tale of Lidia's close-knit family, her commitment, and her unending enthusiasm for cooking are told in the heartwarming, intensely intimate, and profoundly inspirational book My American Dream.
